Shalom.

Below is a working draft statement that was developed this past summer at the Early Childhood Pre-Conference at CAJE 32 in St. Louis on "what makes an Early Childhood Jewish Education school, Jewish".

The statement is not one that is formally endorsed by any organization but is a statement that reflects the Pre-Conference deliberations regarding "Jewishness" within an early childhood Jewish education.

We are using a “virtual decision making process” to complete the consensus statement. The next step is for you to read the draft consensus statement and provide your feedback.

Please post a reply to the group discussion on cajenet, CAJE's social network. To join cajenet we request that you also join CAJE. To join the Early Childhood group on cajenet please send a request to Mary Lou Allen at mlallen@caje.org.

Thank you for helping complete our pre-conference work.
